Washed the old girl today. put some of the trimmings back on again. Rewired the rear lights to work right again. getting excited now haha also cleaned the front light lenses... now nice and clear.

So... pics:

Interior:



















Engine:







Exterior





























So what you guys think?

Looks a bit better now that its washed :P Still need to do the trunk and fit the rear bumper...

Now my Q is where does it attach? The holes where closed when it had some rust removed.

If it doesn't ruin the build thread, I've always wondered what your residential areas look like, and your downtown/urban areas. Maybe when you mod your car, take a few pics "around town" so we can get an idea of what that looks like.

Haha Will do

[Miroteknik]

Haha thanks man! Lemme know what you want pics of. And I'll see what I can do

Wait you have to backpay the license, even though you didn't own the car then?

Thats correct. As that is the terms I bought the car on. Still I got the Benz for almost nothing. So I'm not complaining to much. Just setting my wheels plans back a bit. :P

So Small setback... As I said I got this as kind of a barn find... so with this the licence was behind, found out today its behind by R4000 ($400) x_x

Yay!

Well that sucks but still cant complain...

@ A4crn - Hopefully gettings the front Pentas during the coarse of the month.

Tomorrow I'll give the girl a good clean and take some proper pictures.

A build thread from Africa? Badass. Take all kinds of pictures... I have a strange curiosity with your country.

Thanx guys.

Will post some more shots tomorrow.

I decided that I'm going to keep the OEM rims for now. just going to refurb them. Will get a second set of spring and cut a coil or two just for a stanced look for now:banghead: as I need to save up about R25000 ($2500) for my air ride kit.

Nice build bud, looking forward to your updates.

[Reap3r_ZA]

Those are much better ^

Yeah problem is getting a set. Found a front pair but the guy wants R4000 (+- $400)
for it. So in two minds atm.

I haven't seen one of those air pump in years.

Lower it and call it a day. These old mercs look great simple and clean.

Haha. Thanx yeah they do look good just neat and low.

Clean slate to start with. So jealous of the lack of rust! Go with the AMG pentas, bag it and paint the trunk. done.

Haha I live close to the ocean so might not have so little rust for long. But thanx!

Haha sounds about right. Just need to wait for weather to clear then I can paint the trunk.

Between the pentas and bags I'm gonna be saving a long time
